Publisher's summary

Jessica and her friend, Dr. Seth Hazlitt, get the shock of their lives when they travel to a Florida retirement community for the funeral of their old friend, Portia Shelby, only to discover she has been murdered. Needless to say, America's most beloved sleuth soon finds herself with a Palm Beach potboiler on her hands. Who would want to kill her dear friend? A neighbor with a personal grudge? Or the victim's handsome husband, next in line to inherit her riches? One thing is certain: the beach umbrellas aren't the only shady things in the seemingly innocent community, so now Jessica is in a race against time to solve this Floridian flummoxer before it's too late.

Murder Madness

For a cozy mystery you can’t beat a Fletcher book. The narrator really compares to Angela Landsbury and makes for an enjoyable read. This particular one made me wish I was on a beach in the keys.

Terrible narrator

Good book but the strident tone of the narrator was extremely distracting. Had no problem listening to other narrators from this series. Especially liked Sandra Burr.

Jessica Fletcher is the GOAT

I grew up watching Murder She, Wrote with my grandma, and still watch it all the time. When I learned it was on audible I had to jump on it. This was the first one that I’ve listened to so far, and I really enjoyed it and can’t wait to listen to more!

Fun, easy read!

I really enjoyed the narration of the book through my fire tablet. I am able to go for long walks, mow the lawn, vacuum the floor, or bike ride while having this book read to me! Great reading voice. Really held my attention.
